🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE ISLAND LIFE- https://image.nostr.build/2fba73044fade05d6e691f7f16ee778b2a5f7318d70e00ced87bcdffa225b261.jpg The custom of "telling the bees" is a charming and ancient tradition where beekeepers inform their bees about significant events in their lives, such as deaths, births, marriages, and other major occurrences. This practice is believed to have its roots in Celtic mythology, where bees were seen as messengers between the human world and the spirit world. The presence of a bee after a death was thought to signify the soul leaving the body. The tradition became particularly prominent in the 18th and 19th centuries in Western Europe and the United States. To tell the bees, the head of the household or the "goodwife" would approach the hives, gently knock to get the bees' attention, and then softly murmur the news in a solemn tone. This ritual was believed to keep the bees informed and prevent them from leaving the hive or dying. The custom underscores the deep connection and respect that people historically had for bees, viewing them as integral members of the household and community. https://wonderae.com/natures-unsung-heroes-10-fascinating-insects-and-animals-that-keep-our-world-thriving/ Credits goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️ #Bitcoin #Satoshis #Freedom #Apocalypse #Music #Movies #Philosophy #Literature #Grownostr #Stoicism #Nature APOCALYPSE ANONYMOUS by ATOSHI ANARKOMOTO
